Sunday Girl - Love U More (RAC Mix)


New RAC mix. It's great, as always. No need for more of an introduction, pop in your headphones and listen to this song immediately.

[Electronic] Expomusic - Right Here With Me


Expomusic, an up and coming electronic group from Belgium, released "Right Here With Me" the other day, and boy am I feeling it. According to Expomusic's Soundcloud page, the group specializes in "powerful and extremely catchy feel good synth/electro-pop tunes." If that isn't enough to convince you to have a listen, this song's popularity is soaring right now on Hype Machine. Shout out to The Music Ninja, which is where I originally heard the song.

[Indie/Electronic] No Diavolo - Holy Night


Florida's own No Diavolo said they were going for a "“blues/soul/doo-wop aesthetic with a minimalist hip-hop vibe" on this one. Seems about right to me. With strong vocals and eerie undertones, "Holy Night" is a great fall track, and will be a dark favorite for Halloween parties.

[Cover/Electronic] Glowbug - Where Is My Mind?


"Where Is My Mind" is an iconic song. The track has been used in countless movies (most notably Fight Club) and made waves on the alternavitve/buzz scene in the mid 90's. When ever this song gets a rework, I give it a chance because once in a while there is one worth listening to. Bellingham, WA based ambient/electronic band Glowbug dropped a 4 track album the other day with covers of The Pixies, The Smiths, Yeah Yeah Yeah's and Radiohead. They're all worth a listen, but be sure to check out this cover, and one of my favorite Pixies remixes of all time.

[Lovestep/Downtempo] Birdy- People Help The People (T.I.P Remix)


Mad Decent tweeted this shit earlier and I think it's pretty good.



I don't know much about Birdy other than that she's a British singer/songwriter but here are some of her other tracks. Apologies for the soundcloud.

[Electro-Pop/Remix] Party Supplies- Firecrackers Mixtape


We've been a Party Supplies fan since his remix of "Money Grabber" came out last year. He recently signed to Fool's Gold Records and the Firecrackers mixtape came out about a month ago. Some tracks work better than others but most of this is club material. "Money Grabber", "In My Time of Dying" and "Love Story" are probably the best and definitely worth checking out.

[Synth/Pop] AlunaGeorge - You Know You Like It


When this track landed in our inbox, I couldn't decide if I wanted to post it. Then, after hearing the story about this duo, I couldn't resist. Aluna Francis and George Reid (AlunaGeorge) met randomly over the internet and through a mutual love of Radiohead began to make music together. Their dreamy synth pop style in "You Know You Like It" is quite addictive, and I know you('ll) like it.

[Hip-Hop/Mashup] The Jane Doze - Bullshittin On My Coffee Break (Big Sean vs Zeds Dead)


One of the best mashups I've heard in a hotttttt minute right here. The Jane Doze does a masterful job meshing Big Sean's lyrics with the Zeds Dead beat.

"I'm chillin' with my niggaz, nigga! And a couple cool bitches!".....Sounds like Big Sean is living the life.

[Club/Dance/Rap] Azealia Banks- 212


This song, produced by Lazy Jay, has been blowing up this month and I think it's going to be a staple on the EDM club circuit for some time. Azealia Banks is a 19 year-old from Harlem and she likes rapping about her genitals (the lyrics to 212 are pretty explicit). She's probably going to be really famous because she kinda looks like Rihanna, she can sing, she can rap, and she can produce.

[Hip-Hop] Tayyib Ali - Yesterday


"Yesterday" isn't a new track; in fact, it was released back in February on Tayyib Ali's mixtape Keystone State of Mind. However, this song is resurfacing at the moment because Tayyib just completed a music video for it. Although I don't think the video is very exciting, "Yesterday" is a jam and needs to be heard. Give it a shot, you won't be disappointed.

[Mellow] Blind Melon - No Rain (Pumpkin Remix)


I can't find one reason to hate on Blind Melon. "No Rain" is just one of those tracks that was revolutionary in the 90's, and people still get a kick out of today. When my boy Ben sent over this track yesterday, I couldn't help but find my self to listen. I literally have no idea who Pumpkin is (except that he is from LA and he describes this track as "Bouncy Lovehop") or heard any of his other work, but this remix is so unique that it melted my mind when I played it for the first time. Have a listen.

[Indie/Electronic] Alex Winston - Velvet Elvis (Crystal Fighters Remix)


When we first caught wind of Alex Winston, we were in love. Her debut track about the Mormon-style spouse sharing "Sister Wife" (and especially the Star Slinger remix) has launched her into one of the best breakout indie acts this year. Winston's second track "Velvet Elvis" was also so well received by the music community that a Remix EP of the tune came out today. Its no surprise to anybody that follows this blog that we found the Crystal Fighters remix to be the best. Check out the remix and our previous favorite tune.

[Indie/Electronic] RAC - 1979 (ft. Liz Anjos)


We've said this 1000 times. RAC can do no wrong. His imaginative, synth heavy style gets me every time. His latest is a rework uses vocals from Liz Anjos' cover of Smashing Pumpkin's classic "1979", a favorite of just about everybody that grew up in the 90's. We're a fan of all things RAC, and if you're not already, you will be soon.

[House] Florence + The Machine - Shake It Out (Benny Benassi Remix)


Well, this was bound to happen. It's about time somebody transformed a Florence track into a club jam. House legend Benny Benassi has already has jumped on "Shake It Out", which gained so much popularity in the last couple of weeks that the full-length Shake It Out Remix EP will be due out 10/2. In addition, R&B newcomer The Weeknd has a remix of his own appearing on the EP as well. Check out this preview, and anticipate the release.

[Rap] Domo Genesis- Under the Influence Mixtape




One of the hottest mixtapes I've heard in a long time. Kind of has a similar vibe to Curren$y's Pilot Talk albums...maybe because both rappers are heavily under the influence. Here are a few of my favorite tracks:

Domo Genesis- Shine

Domo Genesis- Glory

Domo Genesis- Benediction
